Nope, not received mine yet despite doing a day there this year. Their black friday 50% off code didn’t work (unsurprisingly) despite suggesting it covered everything - pah!!

R1 is now abandoned at a mate’s barn for the next 5 months while I do DIY type rubbish / boiler install / garage conversion over the dark months. Was hoping for discount code for Silverstone’s Easter Bank Hol date to focus the mind.

Just got back from Jerez with no limits this last weekend with my lad Mikey
My lad's bike wasn't fixed, so he rode my R1 again and i was on pit crew duties
Decent trip, good company and weather was nice and dry




Stuck the camera on for a session with Mikey and FWR Bob on the second day, and Mikey get's into the 1:45's in this session

I borrowed FWR Bob's bike on Sunday for a couple of sessions in borrowed leathers and kit, and did some wheelies too, which was a cool way to end the trip as it was painful being there and not riding

How did the Blade compare to your R1?

Going to be a bit of a stepdown for your lad to go back the the 600 now!

Mega impressive, I was just looking for some sort of reference for how fast that actually is, turns out very - https://youtu.be/ZDEVkAA8lic

It was super impressive. You can certainly see why it's the bike of choice in Stk1000 now days as it's a good step over everything else (I used to have a 2021 Stk1000 spec BMW S1000RR, and it's quite a bit better than that too)

Mikey is actually looking forward to getting back on his ZX6R as he likes to carry a lot of corner speed, and that's not so easy on an R1

Mind sharing this with another?

In my defence, booked Silverstone last year, but didn’t get a code from them for this year…

Just booked Almera 18th March 4 days £579 Inc hotel and breakfast. Flights were £68 return so thought why not

Not sure if anyone else booked
Myself and a mate have booked on. We’ll be in the slow group on a 750 and CBR600RR.

Neither did I.

Why's AAA so special?

Maybe he’s their preferred partner for disseminating said code to the great unwashed?

I think we should be told.

Good idea. I'll send you a PM.

I've sold the remains of that bike and probably won't replace it next year. We are in the middle of a bungalow conversion and I don't have a garage for now. I'll have to hire a bike to do a track day if I can afford it.

Hi
Slightly different but I would love to come to a few track days next yr ( preferably Brands ) to chat to people doing the track days and I dont mind fetching teas etc , I am looking to possibly do a track day later in the yr , once I decide what bike i want . But would still like to chat and get the feel of it all .

If anyone is going to say brands and wants a lacky goofer , I would love to help .

Thank you
